“It feels pretty cool,” Grammy-winning musician Lil Nas X said of attending New York Fashion Week for the first time ever. “I’ve never been able to go in the past because my schedule didn’t line up.”
Despite the newcomer status, Lil Nas X had a comparatively easy NYFW, with his first show on the runway for Coach, where he strutted his stuff at the label’s spring 2023 collection.
Dressed in braids and a distressed vest that was reminscient of Rick James’s hairdo, not to mention some weird shorts, his appearance was the highlight of a largely leather-centric show.
With his naturalistic showmanship, Lil Nas X was not intimidated by a brand that collaborated with the queer leather bar the Eagle this summer.
“I actually wasn’t that nervous to walk in the show,” he said. “Compared to live performances—singing and dancing and everything—this wasn’t too nerve-racking.”
Shortly after he performed the first show in his ongoing Montero World Tour, he appears in a custom Coach jacket on Instagram.
The finale looks in the presentation incorporated a leather-effect take on the denim cowboy suit, with plenty of straps and buckles, along with a crop paired with sequinned trousers in a colour-blocked style in subtly metallic shades of pink and green to fit the show’s butterfly theme.
Lil Nas X said he is a big fan of the tributes to American style that creative director Stuart Vevers has delivered: “I think Coach and I stand for a lot of the same things—self-expression, innovation, and rewriting the rules in fashion. I also love them because they really believe in me and they’ve made so many amazing outfits for me and for my tour.”
